Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Eye Chapter 41 The Second Coming
Nearly half of the stone was buried deep in the earth.
No matter how soft the soil on the riverbank is, it won't be able to smash out such a deep hole!
Alan was stunned by the sight in front of him, and cold sweat kept breaking out of his head. Although he had known for a long time that most of the earth elemental magic was destructive, he didn't expect it to be so powerful......
"You'd better hide faster...... These are super heavy rocks that I made with my magic!" Frey's eyes turned red and he yelled at Allen, "If you only have this ability, you will really die!"
"Super Heavy Rock ......" Alan swallowed, just hearing the name felt dangerous.
At this moment, Frey raised his wand and flung over a few more flying stones.
Due to the unbearable leg injury, Eren couldn't dodge, so he had to open a barrier barrier in front of him, and then gather the magic power to temporarily increase the hardness of certain parts of the barrier according to the landing point of the stone. However, the effect of this was not ideal, under Frey's raindrop-like attack, the entire barrier was still smashed in a few moments, and the repair speed of the barrier was far from keeping up with the speed of destruction, and some even hit him.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that this countermeasure was not a long-term solution, and he could not afford such a violent consumption of mana.
But he couldn't think of any good way to deal with it.
Compared to Frey's sophistication, Alan is much more immature. He hardly has any actual combat experience, and when he really reaches this juncture, his mind will be chaotic from time to time, and he is more nervous and scared than thinking about countermeasures.
And Frey's way of fighting is really clever, not only from the front, but also from imperceptible blind spots. Alan was basically powerless in front of him, not to mention fighting back, just how to avoid being injured by these stones was enough to give him a headache. Although he also has no actual combat experience, Frey's quick reaction and skillful use of various magic spells make Alan feel deeply ashamed, and he must have simulated such a scene in his mind countless times. And this way of fighting with offense and defense can hardly find weaknesses, especially for a type like Allen who doesn't have any expertise, which simply makes him at a loss.
However, just as Eren was anxious, Frey suddenly stopped and began to chant another incantation, which gave Eren time to breathe.
"Maybe this is the only chance!" Alan was excited, forcing himself to calm down, and began to think back to what he had learned in the textbook, and seriously thought about countermeasures: "Fights between magicians don't last more than thirty minutes, and they can often be separated in the first few rounds...... There are two ways to win, either to inflict or kill the opponent, or to destroy or take away their mana carrier......"
By this time, Frey's incantation had finished chanting, and the sand and gravel beside him suddenly floated slowly, and flew higher and higher, reaching mid-air.
"Kill each other, of course not, it can't be, then you can only find a way to target his wand......" Allen's brain began to spacke, "Wand, destroy or take away his wand...... Low-level magic such as the Burst Spell and the Levitation Charm couldn't have worked on him, so it seemed that he had to rob him...... So what to do......"
At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed, and a bold plan took shape in Allen's mind.
"Camouflage Charm!" Remembering that even Mrs. Dalke, who had ears as sharp as a werewolf, had not been able to accurately capture his location, Alan instantly gained confidence, "No matter how high Frey's earth elemental magic destructiveness, he can't see where I am!"
Thinking of this, Eren also quickly began to chant the incantation, and almost instantly applied a layer of disguise to himself. In Frey's eyes, he had suddenly disappeared.
"Then he shouldn't be able to attack me......" Alan couldn't help but relax a little, ready to wait for an opportunity to find a way to get close to Frey.
However, after seeing this scene, Frey suddenly became furious!
"Camouflage Charm!" Frey was furious, "This kind of camouflage enchantment that clings to her body is the only one she can use!
Alan secretly screamed in his heart, he wanted to take advantage of Frey's calming down a little before acting, but he didn't expect Frey to be even more angry......
I saw Frey wave the wand in his hand, and the sand and stones in mid-air flew towards the position before Allen disappeared at a speed that was invisible. After a plopping sound, the originally flat ground in the vicinity instantly became unrecognizable, and in some places there were even bursts of white smoke due to the violent impact.
But fortunately, Eren began to retreat immediately after casting the spell, and he barely escaped the catastrophe.
"I heard her say that you saved me, the people who saved the whole castle!" Frey grew agitated and gritted his teeth, "this is what I should have done...... It's my responsibility!"
Hearing this, Alan suddenly understood why Frey hated him even more after that...... Not only because Frey was saved by the person he hated the most, but also because Eren took his place to complete the task that should have been done by him, and did what he failed to do.
Alan wanted to explain, but he was afraid that the voice would reveal his position, so he closed his lips and remained silent.
"It's better to freeze me to death in that cave...... Fray bent down suddenly, let out a low growl, and then knelt on the ground and muttered, "The Wagbein family is the best...... No one can compare to it...... No one can surpass it!"
After saying that, I saw Frey suddenly get up from the ground, his face changed, he knelt on one knee, touched the ground with one hand, and began to close his eyes and chant incantations.
Alan only felt a sudden numbness under his feet, as if an electric current was passing quickly.
At the same time, Frey suddenly opened his eyes, stared at his location and shouted, "Found you!"
"Whoosh!" With a flick of Frey's wand, an angular block of stone flew straight towards Alan.
"He can see me!" Alan was shocked, and it was too late to get out of the way. Fortunately, Frey didn't seem to be used to using magic in this position, and the stone flew much slower than the previous one, which gave Eren time to react.
"Split!" Alan caught the sight of the stone just in time to catch it and used the Burst Charm.
"No, there's no way he's going to see me......" Alan said as he stared at Frey after saving him the day, "and he used magic in this position, indicating that this is the only way he can spot me...... In other words, it's just a tracking magic that senses the movement of people around it by injecting magic into the surface......"
Sure enough, another rock flew in, and Frey kept that position. This time, Alan just turned sideways and dodged.
"He doesn't know exactly where I am......" Alan saw a clue and began to dodge left and right and back away.
"You can't run away!" Frey suddenly shouted with his eyes closed, stopping his attack and chanting a new spell.
"How much magic does he use......" Seeing this scene, Alan couldn't help but be a little amazed.
But before he could guess what kind of magic Frey was using, he felt as if the dirt beneath his feet was starting to loosen, and it seemed as if something was crawling......
"What is this?!" a hand made of dirt suddenly appeared from the ground and reached for Alan's ankle.
Allen, a spirit, hurriedly raised his foot to dodge.
The hand flew into the air and fell to the ground and disappeared.
But before Alan could rejoice, he saw more identical hands reaching out to him!
"It's like that ice vein tentacle that Frost used!" Allen's heart tightened, and he quickly ran away.
Hands made of dirt or rock spawn on the surface, chasing after Allen.
Frey's eyes were still closed.
"He can't seem to open his eyes when using this perceptual magic?" Alan was keenly aware of this detail and began to gradually change his direction, running towards where Frey was, "But this might be a good opportunity...... Just take his wand away......"
Frey also apparently sensed Allen's intentions, and the speed of the tentacles following Allen became faster and faster!
Sure enough, just when Eren was only a few steps away from him, two hands came out of the dirt in time and tripped Eren to the ground.
"I've finally caught you...... Fray opened his eyes and stared at the place where the two tentacles were tightly entangled, "It's all over time, and you still won't show up?"
Alan had no choice but to climb up with difficulty and uncover the disguise on his body.
The two looked at each other.
"You're losing!" said Frey, who seemed to have anger burning in his eyes, and his face grimace was grim, as if mixed with a hint of triumphant ecstasy.
Although Alan is very unwilling, but judging from the current situation, he really has nothing to do. The two tentacles wrapped around the feet were heavier than the shackles, and it was impossible to lift the feet, let alone take a step forward.
After saying that, Frey suddenly stopped talking, and just stared at Allen, as if he was trying to figure out what to do with him.
"If he hits him with a heavy rock in a place like this, I'm afraid no one will notice a corpse under the stone for a year......" Alan couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this, and lowered his head, "Or will he dig a hole and bury him alive?"
But just as he was thinking about it, he saw Frey's feet suddenly move.
Alan looked up suddenly, only to realize that he didn't know when it began, and Frey's eyes were no longer on him, but ......
"Behind me?" Alan paused, looking in the direction Frey was heading.
In a bush of grass not far behind him, something was glowing in a flickering blue-purple light......
"No......" Allen's mind suddenly went up and down, and he vaguely guessed what it might be.
Frey walked slowly and step by step, and picked up the thing. Just as Frey picked it up, Alan saw the familiar silhouette, and the eerie eye drawn on the cover......
"It's the forbidden book of magic!" Alan gasped and was taken aback, "How could it be ...... at this time"
"Don't touch it!" Alan almost blurted out, "Throw it away!"
Although this book has been of great help to them in times of crisis, Alan always has a sense of foreboding in this current atmosphere.
But Frey didn't react at all, and didn't even look back at him, but slowly opened the book. Look at the expression on his face again, as if he was enchanted......
"Same as Cynthia back then!" Alan was shocked, realizing that Frey might not be able to stop now.
Sure enough, Frey stopped as he turned a page and began to chant incantations in a low voice.
"The earth that nourishes all things, gives me the Force. I don't know what other magic Frey used, but his voice began to echo through the valley, "Wrap around my fingertips dozens of times, grow, swell, sublimate, and then change as I please...... Whether it's a mountain or a cliff, it collapses instantly!"
